You keep using the term "fanservice" to mean something sexual specifically, but that's really not the common usage I've seen. Most people use that term to refer to things like how they put Howard the Duck in Guardians of the Galaxy. I suppose that's yet another charming quirck of the online anime community.
By the way, I have no clue what any of those weird terms you used above actually mean, from "twin tails" (Tails from Sonic?) to "tsunder" (Tsundercats, ho!) to "loli" (pop?). I'm sure I don't want to know.
Also, pointing out there's stuff you consider "far worse" than a show that appears to be about an older man literally marrying a gradeschooler (no specific grade given, because clearly that didn't matter to whoever made this assault on good taste) is not helping your case here.
One last thing I thought to add. Comedy tropes have gotten way too similar as well in both anime and japanese video games. I swear, if I have to watch ONE more scene where someone says they aren't hungry, them their stomach growls, then they get embarrassed, then they both laugh (always EXACTLY LIKE THAT, EXACTLY LIKE THAT SO HARD IT HURTS!), I'm going to throw a cat statue through my TV screen. You know what's been a breath of fresh air lately? Dragon Ball's Battle of the Gods movie I saw just recently. Not only was the comedy on-point, it wasn't recycling tired old cliches. I mean, sure there were a FEW, but by and large they were going for natural humor that evolved from the situation. Vegeta singing a song to open a bingo tournament in order to prevent a god of destruction from getting mad and killing everyone is an example of a GOOD joke. A giant fat version of Kirby lickiing every cup of pudding to keep that same god of destruction from eating it is also comedy gold. That god of destruction judging entire worlds based on petty stuff is, well, exactly what a god WOULD do isn't it? Also, the heroic protagonist that never ever gives up and always saves everyone? He failed, and admitted defeat. The world was saved because that god came to like that guy and got very loose with what it means to "destroy the earth" (he blew up a tiny pebble and considered it mission accomplished). If the new stuff in "Super" I've been hearing about keeps up that level of messing with established tropes, I want to check it out.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
